I have most of Murakami, but I can't get this one. First of all, the hardcover goes for exorbitant prices used (even really used), and also the translation has actually omitted chapters from the original. Maybe they'll re-translate it and I'll get it then.

I also can't find a good copy for a decent price of his first short story collection, The Elephant Vanishes, which also commands high prices. Also, Norwegian Wood has never been published in hardcover as far as I can surmise, which is unfortunate.
